When the cam pushes the left plunger
during motor operation, the system pressure
is generated in the left cylinder. At this time,
the right plunger is expanded by spring force
and the expanded volume of the right
cylinder draws the brake fluid.
HECU controls the hydraulic valves by
supplying or cutting off the voltage to
solenoid valves depending on the wheel
speed and other information from wheel
speed sensors.
The figure shown in left side is for ESP
ECU. There are two channels for front
wheels and one channel for rear wheels.
Each channel has one inlet and one outlet
valve, therefore,
there are six solenoid valves.
The electrical components are weak to
moisture. To protect ECU, GoreTex-based
plate is used at ECU lower cover. The vent
hall (arrow) allows air to ventilate but does
not allow moisture to penetrate.

WHEEL
3. WHEEL ALIGNMENT
The first responsibility of engineering is to design safe steering and suspension systems. Each
component must be strong enough to with stand and absorb extreme punishment.
Both the steering system and the front and the rear suspension must function geometrically
with the body mass.
The steering and suspension systems require that the front wheels self-return and that the tire
rolling effort and the road friction be held to a negligible force in order to allow the customer to
direct the vehicle with the least effort and the most comfort.
A complete wheel alignment check should include measurements of the rear toe and camber.
1) Toe-in
2) Camber
Toe-in is the turning in of the tires, while toe-
out is the turning out of the tires from the
geometric centerline or thrust line. The toe
ensures parallel rolling of the wheels.
The toe serves to offset the small deflections
of the wheel support system which occu
r
when the vehicle is rolling forward.
The specified toe angle is the setting which
achieves-degrees “0°” of toe when the
vehicle is moving.
Incorrect toe-in or toe-out will cause tire
wear and reduced fuel economy. As the
individual steering and suspension
components wear from vehicle mileage,
additional toe will be needed to compensate
for the wear. Always correct the toe
dimension last.
Camber is the tilting of the top of the tire
from the vertical when viewed from the front
of the vehicle. When the tires tilt outward,
the camber is positive. When the tires tilt
inward, the camber is negative. The cambe
r
angle is measured in degrees from the
vertical. Camber influnces both directional
control and tire wear.
If the vehicle has too much positive camber,
the outside shoulder of the tire will wear. I
f
the vehicle has too much negative camber,
the inside shoulder of the tire will wear.
Camber is measured in degrees and is not
adjustable.

2) Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the vehicle speed by calculating the signals from the rear right
wheel speed sensor through ABS or ESP unit.
If the speedometer pointer vibrates, stands at a certain range or sounds abnormal noise, there
could be defectives in speedometer. However, these symptoms also could be appeared when
the tire has uneven wear, different tire inflation pressures or different tire specifications.
Perform the speedometer test regarding the tolerance as described. However, it is not simila
r
simple work in field due to lack of measuring conditions such as test equipment and
preciseness.
Check the allowable tolerance of the speedometer and operations of the trip odometer by
using a tester.
Check if the speedometer pointer is shaking and the abnormal noise sounds.
Eliminate the hysteresis by tapping the speedometer. 1.

The allowable tolerance increases when the tires are worn or the tire pressure is out of
specified range. -

PARKING AID SYSTEM

3) Cautions on parking aid system
Note that the display does not show everything in the rear area.
Always check nobody, especially animals and children, is behind the vehicle.
Normal precautions when reversing should be maintained. *
*
The parking aid system is just a supplemental device to help your parking operation.
Always keep the safety precautions.
Do not press or shock the sensors by hitting or high-pressure water gun while washing, o
r
the sensors will be damaged.
If the system is in normal operating conditions, a short beep sounds when the gear selecto
r
lever is moved into “R” position with the ignition key “ON”.
If the system is in abnormal operating conditions, a beep sounds for 3 seconds when the
gear selector lever is moved into “R” position with the ignition key “ON” or engine
running. However, it is also occurred when the obstacle is within 50 cm from the rea
r
bumper. 1.

(1) The parking aid system will not work or improperly work under
following cases:
▶Certain obstacles that sensors can not detect
- Wires, ropes, chains.
- Cotton, sponge, clothes, snow that absorb ultrasonic waves.
- Obstacles lower than the bumper.
▶Not defective but improperly working
- When the sensing portion is frozen.
- When the sensing portion is covered by rain, water drops, snow or mud.
- When receiving other ultrasonic signals
(metal sound or air braking noises from heavy commercial vehicles).
- When a high-power radio is turned on.
▶Narrowed sensing area
- When the sensing portion is partially covered by snow or mud.

AIR BAG SYSTEM
3. AIRBAG FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
1) Bag (Cushion)
The airbag system performance is influenced on the cushion size, shape and position.
The cushion strength is a important parameter on the impact absorb effect.
Therefore, the control of the airbag performance depends on cushion size, shape, inflato
r
characteristic and vent hole size for the gas discharge.
The cushion’s material and folding function to control the cushion deployment
direction and the performance to protect passenger’s face. ·
·
·
·
2) Airbag Module
The driver airbag module is under the center pad of the steering wheel.
The passenger airbag module is installed in the instrument panel at passenger side.
The driver and passenger side airbag is inside each seat.
3) Module Cover/Housing
It is a type of a container that includes the cushion and the inflator.
The module housing functions to deliver the reaction force between the body structure and
the airbag (The airbag reaction is absorbed generally to the steering wheel or instrument
panel).
The module cover must be considered in a viewpoint of protection between exterior,
internal units and cushion. Also the module cover should be designed not to cause any
personal injury for deployment. ·
·
·
Do not disassemble the airbag module because unintentional deployment of the airbags
resulting from any damage or interference of the module can cause injury. -
